WARNING 13. Check to see that the load is securely inserted in the hook,
and that the hook latch is engaged.
• Do not use this hoist for lifting, supporting or transporting
people or lifting or supporting loads over people.
WARNING
• The hook latch is intended to retain loose slings or devices
under slack conditions. Hook latches are not intended to be
an antifouling device, so caution must be used to prevent the
latch from supporting any of the load.
Hoist Controls
Pendant Controls
The HLK hoist can be supplied with an optional manual pull
chain control or a one, two or three function pendant depending
on application. For detailed information on these products refer
to Ingersoll-Rand Manual Form Number P6778 or contact your
nearest distributor or the factory.
Operation of the hoist is the same for all pendants listed in this
section:
1. To lift a load, depress the hoist pendant raise lever.
2. To lower a load depress the hoist pendant lower lever.
3. To throttle lift or lowering speed, regulate the amount the
pendant lever is depressed. Depress lever completely for
maximum speed; depress lever partially for slower speeds.
Operators must be physically competent. Operators should have
no health condition which might affect their ability to react, and 4. To stop lift or lowering function, release the lever. Lever

arrows located on the pendant levers.
Initial Operating Checks
Hoists are tested for proper operation prior to leaving the
factory. Before the hoist is placed into service the following
initial operating checks should be performed.
1. After installation of trolley mounted hoists, check to ensure
the hoist is centered below the trolley.
2. Check for air leaks in the supply hose and fittings to
pendant, and from pendant to manifold.
3. When first running the hoist or trolley motors a small
amount of light oil should be injected into the inlet
connection to allow good lubrication.
4. When first operating the hoist and trolley it is
recommended that the motors be driven slowly in both
directions for a few minutes.
5. Operate the trolley along the entire length of the beam.
6. Inspect hoist and trolley performance when raising, moving
and lowering test load(s). Hoist and trolley must operate
smoothly and at rated specifications prior to being placed in
service.
7. Check that trolley (if equipped) and hook movement is the

INSPECTION
Frequent Inspection
On hoists in continuous service, frequent inspection should be
made by operators at the beginning of each shift. In addition,
visual inspections should be conducted during regular operation
for any damage or evidence of malfunction (such as abnormal
noises).
1. OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises
(grinding etc.) which could indicate a potential problem.
Make sure controls function properly and return to neutral
when released. Check load chain feed through the hoist and
bottom block. If chain binds, jumps, is excessively noisy or
"clicks", clean and lubricate the chain. If problem persists,
replace the chain. Do not operate the hoist until all
problems have been corrected.
12
3. UPPER AND LOWER LIMIT DEVICE. Test operation
with no load slowly to both extremes of travel. Upward
travel must stop when the bottom block or stop ring on
chain hits hoist limit arm. Downward travel must stop when
the loop at the unloaded end of the chain decreases and
activates the limit arm.
4. AIR SYSTEM. Visually inspect all connections, fittings,
hoses and components for indication of air leaks. Repair
any leaks found. Check and clean the filter in the inlet stud
(24) and the inlet strainer (24C) if equipped.
5. CONTROLS. During operation of hoist, verify response to
pendant, or pull chain, is quick and smooth. Ensure that the
controls return to neutral and hoist operation stops when 8. LOAD CHAIN REEVING. Ensure welds on standing links

Initial Chain Installation
The following instructions apply to hoists that do not have load
chain installed. For hoists with load chain installed, that must be
replaced, refer to the ‘Chain Replacement’ section. When
directed to remove or install hoist sections or subassemblies to
assist in chain installation, refer to the applicable ‘Disassembly’
or ‘Assembly’ section for specific requirements.
WARNING
• Replacement chain for an HLK double fall hoist must have
an ODD number of total links. Refer to Dwg. MHP0441.
(Dwg. TPA706-4)
4. Keep the load chain straight and do not twist it. Attach the
free end of the load chain to the connecting link. Refer to
Dwg. TPA706-3, ‘Chain Installation - Step 2.’ Clean,
inspect and install the brake spring, brake discs, brake
plates and piston housing on hoist.
2. Ensure the chain is straight and feed the end through the

The following steps describe the initial installation of chain on
three or four fall hoists that do not have load chain installed.
1. Remove the brake spring and piston housing, brake discs
and brake plates to expose the brake driver.
2. Place the edge of the first link of load chain in a pocket of

• Do not use trichloroethylene to clean parts.
Refer to ‘General Maintenance Instructions’ and also:
1. The HLK Hoist is constructed of various modules. The
following instructions will first describe how to assemble
the individual modules and finally, how to assemble a

2. Always press against the stamped end of a needle-type
bearing when installing the bearing in a bearing recess.
3. Always clean and wipe every part (except the brake parts)
with a thin film of oil before installation.
4. Never clean sealed bearings using solvent or any other
cleaner. Carefully remove dirt, externally applied lubricants
and sediment with a rag or stiff bristle brush.

Brake Assembly
Refer to Dwg. TPB704-3.
1. Lightly coat the piston seals (84) and (85) with ‘O’ ring
lubricant, and install them in their respective grooves on
the brake piston (83).
2. Taking care not to cut the seals, slide the piston into the
brake spring and piston housing (80).
3. Place the spring and piston housing on the workbench with
the three spring cavities facing upward.
4. Place a spring (81) in each cavity.
5. For New Style Pressure Plates (82): install the pressure
plate screw (82A) such that the screw head mates with the
counterbore in the pressure plate face. Place the pressure
plate (82) and screw over the springs so that the screw
enters the hole in the brake piston.
For Old Style Pressure Plates with and Integral Stud:
install the pressure plate, stud side first, over the springs so
that the stud enters the hole in the brake piston.
